The Duchess of Cambridge passed out shamrocks to Irish guards at Aldershot for their annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Stunning in head-to-toe green, she pinned 300 shamrocks on the officers' uniforms while her hubby, dressed in his own military uniform, watched on proudly.

The tradition of presenting shamrocks to the Irish Guards dates back to 1901 and has traditionally been performed by Queen Elizabeth II. Kate and William have happily assumed this royal role in recent years, though.

After the parade, the couple visited the Junior Ranks Mess Hall and then a private luncheon with those serving. Per the Daily Record, Guardsmen and Lance Corporals cheered and toasted Kate and William with cans of lager and small glasses of Irish sherry.
